Descendants of genocide victims in the Kunene region have called for stronger historical truth-telling, intergenerational dialogue and meaningful healing ahead of Genocide Remembrance Day, saying remembrance must lead to lasting national reconciliation. The remarks were made during a Government Information Centre engagement at Opuwo on Wednesday with the Ministry of Information and Communication Technology ahead of the inaugural national commemoration on 28 May. Former parliamentarian and descendant of genocide victims Mike Kavekotora said the impact of the 1904-1908 genocide continues to shape the lived reality of affected communities, particularly through displacement from ancestral land, cultural disruption and long-term psychological trauma.
